In January 2007, I weighed 420 lbs . In February 2009, I was down to 255 lbs and within 100 lbs of my goal weight. I couldn't get the scale to budge and gave up. By August 2015, I hit a personal high at 442 lbs. Now I'm on a renewed journey to health.

Mexican food

I have been planning to eat out (with some friends) at a Mexican restaurant for about a week. I bought Melba toast in preparation. I ate a light lunch. I saved my veggies and meat allowance for dinner.

I ordered homemade guacamole that was made tableside. I had them load it with veggies--onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocados. I ate it on Melba toast (no fat, no sugar). I had NO chips and NO homemade flour tortillas. I ate a side salad with shrimp for dinner. That's it. And I feel great!

I think this is the first time in two years I have eaten at a Mexican restaurant and not stuffed myself. It is possible.

I have that problem with Italian restaurants. I never get out of them without being deep in food sin by the time I am done!
